Duke Superlatives: The Best Players of the Last 15 Years

Forgive me for being only 19 years old, but these Duke teams contain only the players that I have watched thoroughly and been able to make honest assessments of. 

So if your looking for Laettner, Hill, Dawkins, Ferry, or Hurley, well, you won't find them.  

These are my Duke superlatives from what I have seen live with my own eyes.

The teams are ordered by position.
